Finally, more switches installed...

Yay, got a few hours this afternoon with the kid asleep and the wife busy enough elsewhere that I could install some of the switches I bought from Fry's in Austin several weeks ago. My first priority was to address lights that are used most often (and thus, left on by my wife most often!). So, I installed switches on her closet in the bedroom, her closet in the bathroom, my closet in the bathroom, and the main light in the bathroom (as well as a slave in the 3-way for the main bathroom switch). Programming these are straightforward as I don't need to the send any links, and they only need to receive All Off and Bedtime links.

This brings my total up 17 UPB devices, 2 of which are slave switches (bathroom, living room), and 2 of which do not control loads (tabletop controllers on our nightstands), so maybe it's more correct to say 13 UPB controlled loads. I still have left to install 4 more US11-30's from Fry's, a single US-240 that I have leftover from starter kits, and a slave switch for the top of the stairs. For self-documentation purposes, here's where I want to install the switches:
Slave - top of stairs
US2-40: playroom, so I can control living room lights from there as well
US11-30's x 4: laundry room, garage light, dining room, office

EDIT: rather than the garage light, I think I would rather do the front porch exterior light

On more philosophical notes, I continue to reference Smart Home Hacks (the book that got me into this mess in the first place) on a regular basis for ideas on what I could/should be doing. I do have a list of ideas somewhere (and it should be here at some point), but simply lack the free time to implement these for now. As I read through the book more and more, I wonder more and more why the author chose to make the large majority (>90%) or his examples using software that is only Mac compatible. I think it would have served him equally well or better to write his scripts in a PC based software (such as HomeSeer), or at least to make equivalent scripts available over the website. At least that way, I could have a good reference (again, lack of basic VB skills on my part) for the logic that I want to perform. OK, I'm off my soapbox.
